Mysterious 'golden' fossils from the Jurassic aren’t what they seem

Fossils found in Germany's Posidonia Shale don't get their gleam from fool's gold after all.

Incredibly proud to have been able to work with both Shuhai and Bob, one as my advisor and one as a committee member. Very well deserved to both!

I'm delighted for the two new @theNASciences members from @vtgeosciences -- Shuhai Xiao and Bob Bodnar. Whether it's the evolution of life in the Precambrian, or the evolution of Earth's crust as seen through fluid inclusions, these two have changed geoscience. Congratulations!

New paper out today by @MorrisonNolan1 What is the Cambrian Brooksella? peerj.com/articles/14796/ via @PeerJLife

Is the middle Cambrian Brooksella a hexactinellid sponge, trace fossil or pseudofossil?

First described as a medusoid jellyfish, the “star-shaped” Brooksella from the Conasauga shale Lagerstätten, Southeastern USA, was variously reconsidered as algae, feeding traces, gas bubbles, and...
